216 ORIENT AND OCCIDENT erally known at the present time, that Sebastopol is to be turned into a fortress for the defence of the territory of the Crimea. The arbitrary methods of the Russian government are here very well illus- trated. Sebastopol was a port with flourishing and constantly expanding commerce and prosperous manufactures. By an order of government a stop is put to all these developments. The merchants have to migrate, the manufacturers have to desert their plants, fortunes are rui...ned, and the entire industrial development of that section of the country is arbitrarily changed. However, the gain to the defence of Russia can scarcely be exaggerated. Russian fleets can now, without coming out into the open on the Black Sea, pass from the northwestern part of that sea to the Caspian, — from Odessa and Kherson to Mikhae- lovsk, the Caspian terminal of the central Asiatic railway, — while invasion by land is rendered difficult by the almost impregnable fortress of Sebastopol.
